HOW TO DO 1T.

Ladies are always OH the lookout for
a new idea to be utilized at church fairs,
and for the information Of the fair read
ers of the GLOBE the latest device for
coaXing cash out of the pockets of
patrons at such gatherings is given to-
day. Luncheons sufficient to feed two
hungry mortals are put up in small COW
cred baskets, each of which contains
the card of the young lady who pre-
pared the edibles. 1t is the privilege of
the male purchaser to eat the luncheon
in company with the lady whose card he
finds i'll the basket, and great deal of
amusement is created by the couples thus
brought together. Sometimes it is very
veXatious for young lady who has
carefully matured plan to capture
some attractive swain to be compelled

STILL MOTHERS BOY.
Do you think I've forgotten the day

Do you think I've forgotten the day
carried HIM at nv breast?
Many fair children I've loved since then.
But think that l loved him best,
For he was our firstborn child, John,
And have not the heart or will
To love him less; whatever may come
He's my boy still!
l remember when he was little lad,
How he used to climb on my knee:
How proud we were of his beauty,
Of his wit and mimicry
And know quite well he's man now,
With wild and stubborn will;
But whatever he is to you, John,
Hes my boy still.
He was just like sunshine about the house
In the days of his happy youth;
You know we said that with all his faults
He had courage and love and truth.
And. though he has wandered far away,
IL rather you say no i'll;
He is sure to come back 10 his mother;
He's my boy still.
l know there was never kinder heart.
And can remember to-day
How often he went with me apart
And knelt at my knee TO pray.
And the man will do as the boy did,
Sooner or later he will
The Bible is warrant for that-so
Hes my boy still
A mother can feel where she can't see,
She is wiser than any sage;
My boy was trained in The good old way;
! shall certainly get my wage.
And though he has wandered far away,
And followed his wayward will,
j know whatever. wherever he is,
He's my boy still.

ALEssoN TO BE HEEDED.

''PoliticS makes strange bedfellows"
is an old saying, but it would be impos-
sible to conceive two more striking
illustrations of this than are presented
to-day. On the one hand is ROSCOE
CoNKLING, the whilom stalwart Repub-
lican, and who, while in the senate of
the United States, frequently sustained
the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus in the Southern states, appearing
before the bar of the supreme court of
the United States to question the right
of the state Of Virginia to do with two
of its officers what he has hitherto advo-
Gated. The other case is that of eX-Gov
CHAMBERLAIN, of South Carolina, whose
reign during the carpet-bag period in
South Carolina was synonymous with
jobbery and corruption in Republican
official circles. But this representative
carpet-bagger has repented of his evil
dOings, and now seeks refuge in the
bosom of the Democracy of New York,
and will not heed the entreaties of his
former allies to go on the stump for
their ticket i'll the Empire state.
There is joy in Heaven over one sin
iiCS iSPOhlCtii3 but JiluS lIGTG Is
no record of any particular jubilation
by the Democracy over the accession to
their ranks; but by voting the straight
ticket Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN may atone in
measure for his past misdirected
energies.
1t is healthy and encouraging sign
of the growth of the spirit of harmony
between the North and South, and
whiclris so desirable to this great coun-
try, to find the state of Virginia retain
ing RosCoE CoNkIING to defend her
before the tribunal of last resort.

FAIR Nancy at her window sits,
Across the way,
And piece to piece her patchwork fits
With colors gay.
She joins them in dream of bliss;
No sweeter work she asks than this.
Her friends they come to sit awhile;
Her work they praise.
And thus, with genial chat and smile
Slip by her days.
She asks no higher, nobler end
Than appreciation of her friend.
They look with plying eyes at me,
Who sit alone;
in solitude what can there be:''
They sadly groan. Z
They come across to cheer me; then,
close the page ana hide my pen.
Sweet maid, whose busy fingers fit,
Our tasks combine
You at your fairy patchwork sit,
And at mine.
Your friends come in to cheer you there
My friends are viewless as the air.
Mine crowd around and comfort bring
Thro lonely hours;
Their hands in mine. I cheerly sing,
Knee deep in flowers.
When here Sil in quiet hooks,

Maurice Auerbach.

MAURICE AUERBAcH, of AUERBACH, FINCH &
VAN SLYcK-I am going East tomorrow on a
very pleasant mission-the reception of my
family, who have been abroad for several
months, and whom expect to find awaiting
me at New York. My observations and talks
among business men recently have demon
strated the fact that a substantial business
boom is On ST. Paul and likely to continue. I
do not recall time when the fall trade was
better, and advices from my correspondents
all tend to confirm this statement and es-
pecially throughout the Northwest. There
have been no further scares about financial
stringency in this part of the country, and
the condition of business was never more
prosperous in our history. I shall remain
several days in New York and vicinity, and
when return to st. Paul trust may have a
large and interesting budget of news for the
thousands of readers of the GLOBE.

THE BEDoUIN's PRAYER.

Allah ask not that Thy mercy slay
Mine enemy. But that Thine eye shall keel
My sword untarnished while l sleep.
Allah, l shall find the way
TO pierce such dog, such Christian slave,
And send him to Mahomet's throne,
Where dazzling, dark-eyed hOuris frown
On any but the Warlike brave.
Allah! beg not that Thy power
Shall save me from the doom of death,
A thing light given and ta'en is breath.
/ ask not one extended hour
To draw the vapor, such as steals
To give the palms mute caress
But | ask that when the hot brain reels
Thy power shall lift my nothingness
To meet my death as Bedouin should,
At point of lance, meath starry skies,
And meet the glance of houri eyes
Still mottled with the battle blood.
To wake from out my lethargy,
Thrilled to the soul by her soft kiss,
Whose liquid fire shall form my bliss
Through all unspaced eternity.

UBIQUITOUS DISCRIMINATION.

The business men of st. Paul and
Minneapolis may as well make up their
minds to face the fact that they are to
be Disseminated against by the pooled
railway lines, and that this quasi boy
eOtt has been established in a re-
vengeful spirit because the shippers of
these two cities are supposed to have
encouraged the Minnesota & North
western in its independent movement
to lower the rates between this city and
Chicago. The new freight tariffs
adopted by the pooled lines, and which
have been agreed to by the Manitoba
and Northern Pacific, show a discrimi-
nation in favor of Chicago as against st.
Paul and Minneapolis of from 80 to 40
cents. The following statement of
freight charges from Chicago to Fargo
direct, and on goods from Chicago to st.
Paul to be reshipped to Fargo, explains
the whole situation:
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-10-23

This includes freight over all lines be-
tween this city and Chicago except the
Minnesota q Northwestern.
The Manitoba and Northern Pacific
claim that they held out against this
discrimination as long as it was possible,
but were finally forced into adopting
the joint tariff. Whether this is an alb
Solute fact or mere pretenSion is use
less to discuss in this connection. Our
Twin City jObbers are brought face to
face with the simple truth that the rail-
road combination is against them, and
for the avOwed purpose of helping the
jObbing trade of Chicago. Precisely
what steps to take to counteract the
effects of this unjust combination or to
break it up, is question our job
berS are able to decide for them
selves; consequently the GLOBE has
no suggestion to offer on this
point. But there is one matter
that we do most earnestly desire to call
the attention of our business men to.
and that is the necessity for having at
least one trunk line owned and operated
in the exclusive interest of these two
cities. 1t is probable that the present
bOycOtting condition will not last long,
The managers of these pooled lines will
sooner or later discover that by discrim-
mating against st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis they are only killing the goose that
lays their golden eggs, and will he glad
in time to raise the blockade. But this
occurrence must necessarily impress
our business people with the necessity
of occupying a position absolutely free
from Chicago dictauon, and independ-
ent of quarreling railroad factions.
The commercial interests of these two
cities are powerful enough for self-pro-
lection, and the appearances are that
the time has come for the exercise of
that power in this direction.

A Reform Needed.

Albert Lea Enterprise.
1t would seem that Mr.. Warden, of
the State Prison Stordock's prosecution
OF persecution of ex-Warden Reed has
turned out boomerang, for while the
former was listening to the malicious
gossip of few convicts, hoping thereby
to criminate the latter, two hard char
acters made good their escape, and there
are loud demands for the removal of
Stordock. Besides there are hard
stories being circulated about the pres
ent management of the institution. 1t
is evident there should be a reform at
this reformatory.

Foreign Missions.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. 22.-The eight
eenth annual meeting of the national
committee of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sion society of the Methodist Episcopal
church has been in session here
for three days. There are twenty-seyen
delegates present, representing the
nine districts of the United States,
which embrace the country from Maine
to California. The reports of the
officers show the society to be in -four
ishing condition. The collections for
the past year amounted to Sl90,0OO an
increase of $4,000 over the previous
year. The board will remain in session
all of next week.

Bad for the RepubIicans,
LIE sueur Sentinel.

LIE Sueur Sentinel
The investigation of the Saltwater
state prison affairs is again going on.
The evidence reveals scandalous ex-
tent of rOttenness and bad management,
which calls for the prompt removal of
the present warden, Stordock. The evi-
dence is largely from convicts and ex-
conyicts, which cannot be accepted as
the best, but it is the same kind of evil
dence that was brought against ex-
Warden Reed, and it is equally good
now. Indeed, it is stronger against
StOrdOck, for some of the prisoners testi-
flying are still under his domination. 1t
is not good record for the Republicans
to go into the next state campaign with,
but it is probably nearly as good as they
could make in other directions if eX-
pOSureS could be made.

and the most successful carnival that st. Paul
has ever seen. Energetic, thorough-going
business men have the matter in charge, and
am content for my part, to be merely
locker on in Vienna. Certainly I expect that
the hotelkeepers of our city will eventually
be consulted, but mainly as to the sinews of
war, and none of us will be found lacking
when the time for action arrives. Business
is simply booming everywhere and the peo-
pie will need the relaxation from the cares
of life that our carnival will afford them, and
n am informed that the features will be at
once novel, agreeable and attractive, and will
strike our guests as something long to be re-
imembered.

subsequently they discovered that they
were mistaken and that no concessions

A Lying Contest.

Glencoe Enterprise.
The state prison investiga ton was re-
opened with renewed vigor ON Monday,
and the testimony brought out looks
anything but rosy for Warden Stordock.
From this distance it looks as though the
entire female force of the institution had
been driven into lying contest, and
the attorney who can make the lies stick
together best will bring his client out
ON top of the heap. At all events the
character Of Warden StOrdock will not
appear much whittier than the character
of ex-Warden Reed when the contro-

o God, thy moon is on the hills
Thy stars are in the sky.
Thy spirit this mortal vessel fills,
l feel the end is nigh.
Swift meteors flame across the north.
The golden planets wheel and sink,
Soon steps thy trumpet-angel forth
From heavens eternal brink;
Then peace illumes these warlike ways,
Christ's joyful chiliad has its birth,
A round of Eden's perfect days
Thy Kingdom comes upon the earth!
Ny eyes are dim, my hands are weak,
My soul is SCARED with sin,
But day and night Thy word seek,
That a crown may win;
Cleanse Thou and make my spirit pure
AS are the spirits of Thy saints;
Like them in bliss would endure,
When earthly body faints;
Far up on heavens reSplendent height
| hear the circling cherubs sing.
As downward to this world of night

could go into that didn't require capital was

time that the head of every hosiery in the

At the convention of Delta Kappa YpsilOn

of ''Who is John Noman?'' a novel which by
popular judgment is one of the best that has
appeared from an American writer for q long
time. The writer is young man who has
found time, while studying law and starting
a practice in New York city, to do vast deal
of reading as well as writing. He is not yet

position of clerk of the probate court in New

ton that he has written the novel above
